The God of Phoenix Mountain Racing

Before long, the day Chen Qin was due to give birth finally arrived. Since she had insisted on having a natural delivery, the hospital induced labor after she started spotting in the middle of the night. The process went quite smoothly—Chen Qin even had the mood to send Ye Shuang selfies while she was dilating.

Chen Qin: Hubby, I’m about to start giving birth to our baby. Are you still asleep?

Chen Qin: Er Bao says hi.jpg

Chen Qin: Hubby, hubby.

Chen Qin: Hubby~ Wake up~

Back at home, when he heard his phone vibrating, Ye Shuang let out a sleepy grunt in bed. Then, as if he suddenly realized what was happening, he quickly sat up and reached for his phone.

Since Chen Qin’s due date had arrived, Ye Shuang hadn’t been sleeping deeply, even though it was the middle of the night. The moment his phone lit up, he opened his eyes and got out of bed to put on his clothes. He didn’t even have time to tidy himself up, merely splashing cold water on his face before preparing to leave.

Although Ye Shuang tried not to make much noise, the door to the room beside his still opened. Bai Yuyou’s sleepy face appeared in the doorway.

“Ye Shuang…”

Bai Yuyou stepped out wearing silk pajamas. Since the heater was on while she slept, the girl was dressed rather lightly.

“Sorry, did I wake you?” Ye Shuang asked. He hadn’t slept with Yuyou tonight.

“What happened?” Bai Yuyou glanced at the time. It was three in the morning.

Why was he getting up at this hour?

“Chen Qin’s going into labor. I have to get over there now.” Seeing the confusion on the girl’s face, Ye Shuang smiled and explained.

Bai Yuyou immediately understood and went back into the room to change. “I’m coming too.”

However, since Little Yezi had school the next day, Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou didn’t wake her. The two of them quickly got ready and left.

The garage was rather cold in winter, especially after stepping out of a warm bed. Once Ye Shuang sat in the driver’s seat, he breathed warm air onto his palms. He needed to hurry, but fortunately, there wouldn’t be any traffic jams in the middle of the night.

It would have been a lie to say he wasn’t nervous. Although he had often read books and materials on the subject, this was still Ye Shuang’s first time dealing with something like this. Besides waiting, there was nothing he could do.

“Ye Shuang, don’t worry.” Seeing him blowing on his hands, Bai Yuyou reached out and took one of them. The girl’s body temperature was higher than his, and her warm, soft hand wrapped around his palm, bringing a sense of comfort that helped calm his heart.

“Mm, I’m fine. I’m just worried about Chen Qin.” Ye Shuang smiled faintly. Even with an epidural, childbirth was still extremely painful, especially since Chen Qin had chosen a natural delivery. According to the doctor, however, Chen Qin had a wide pelvis, so there was no need to worry.

Having a big butt really did have its advantages.

As Ye Shuang started the car, he didn’t forget to call Chen Hai and the others.

“Chen Hai, it’s your sister.”

“What do you mean, ‘your sister’? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night to give me crap?” Chen Hai sounded confused on the other end.

“Your sister’s going into labor,” Ye Shuang said helplessly.

“Your sister is the one who’s—oh? Chen Qin’s going into labor? Seriously?”

Soon, the sound of rustling clothes came from the phone. Apparently, the moment Chen Hai heard that Chen Qin was giving birth, he had started getting dressed and preparing to leave.

“My car got scratched a few days ago and is still being repaired,” Chen Hai said. “Have you left yet?”

“I’m in the garage. I just got the message, so I’m leaving now,” Ye Shuang replied. “Wait for me at the entrance to your apartment complex. I’ll pick you up since I’m passing by anyway.”

“Got it.”

After finishing the call with Chen Hai, Ye Shuang called Fugui.

“Hello, Fugui—”

“Little Shuangshuang, I’m already on my way,” Fugui said. He had received the news as well and had set out immediately, even moving faster than Ye Shuang.

“All right.”

Ye Shuang hung up, then called Chen’s Father and Chen’s Mother. He eventually learned that they had planned to spend the night at the hospital.

Ye Shuang glanced at the time and felt that everything was more or less arranged. As for Chen Qin’s relatives, he wasn’t familiar with the situation, but he assumed Chen’s Father and Chen’s Mother would notify them.

Before long, Ye Shuang spotted Chen Hai shivering by the roadside outside the apartment complex, looking as if he were freezing.

“Damn, why is it so cold tonight?” Chen Hai said as soon as he got into the car. “Cold fronts have been coming every other day. This is brutal. Looks like I won’t be able to wear short sleeves for New Year’s this year.”

“Enough. The heater’s on in the car.” As Ye Shuang spoke, Bai Yuyou took a scarf from the box and handed it to Chen Hai. “Chen Hai, use this to warm your hands.”

“Thanks, Little Yuyou.” Chen Hai grinned. “If you give me the scarf, what will Ye Shuang do if he gets cold?”

“It’s fine. I’ll warm his hands for him,” Bai Yuyou said softly.

“Uh… all right, then.”

Chen Hai glanced at Ye Shuang before wrapping the scarf around his ice-cold hands without the slightest bit of guilt.

“Which way should we go?”

“Hmm… Take the urban expressway. It’s a little farther, but it’ll save us fifteen minutes.” After entering the destination, Ye Shuang set off immediately. Every minute mattered. The earlier they reached the hospital, the better.

Over the past few days, he had actually considered staying at the hospital with Chen Qin, but she had decided against it, since he still had work and wouldn’t be able to rest properly there.

Once they entered the urban expressway, a light rain began to fall.

“Wow, it’s actually raining. Cold rain’s falling all over my face…” Chen Hai even started singing.

“…”

Because the rain obstructed his vision, Ye Shuang could only slow down. He absolutely couldn’t afford to get into an accident on the way.

“Does this Maybach leak?” Chen Hai suddenly asked.

“It should be fine. If it leaks, we’ll just throw a tarp over it.” Ye Shuang answered casually. “The after-sales service for this brand is terrible.”

“Then why are you driving it?”

“It’s a company car. I might as well use it for free.” Ye Shuang laughed.

Just then, Ye Shuang noticed a vehicle behind them with its hazard lights flashing. Its headlights were unusually bright.

“Hm?” Ye Shuang glanced over. The lights drew closer and closer, while the sound of its engine resembled a cat’s sharp screech. Then, with a whoosh, it overtook them, leaving behind only the pink rear end of a chili-pepper-headed car with its hazard lights still flashing.

“Holy crap, that Mini is going that fast?!” Chen Hai stared wide-eyed. “Isn’t it afraid of skidding in the rain? It must’ve been going over a hundred and seventy just now, right?”

Ye Shuang: “…”

After noticing that the electric car’s license plate was filled with the number eight, Ye Shuang had a pretty good idea who was driving it.
